*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S6/Edge Thread ***

There's no reason the edge should have significantly better battery life than the reg S6.

Don't forget that extra 50mAh Haha

Key word there was significantly

Anyway - seems battery life is decent considering the Z3 got

Ha I know

Yeah seems like good stats

GSM Arena stats usually quite accurate?

Just saw this on XDA, looks like a very interesting alternative for a screen protector (and rear protector) for the S6 (especially the Edge)

What are your views? Anyone used this?

Should reduce fingerprints too on the black

Not the best - AFAIK they set the brightness to 50% instead of 200nits. As you know 50% brightness varies wildly across different devices. ARS Technica and Anandtech tests will be the most controlled.

Ahh okay makes sense

Will be interesting to see what the others say then

Well I would but no one seems to know when they are coming out...

Hope nobody severs an artery with their exploding glass s-bendy.

Why would you hope that? Wouldn't that leave you less people to feel envious over?

 

[Robbo]

Had a play with the Edge today, really impressed, feels very premium. If I wanted an Android phone I'd have zero hesitation. HTC are done.

The issue I got is finding a 64gb edge for Friday as it seems .de has let me down,

I already have an iPhone 6 Plus why would I be envious of someone with a dangerous, poorer performing knock off?!

 

[Jabbs]

I had a 6 plus for 2 weeks was long enough . Just a 5s with a bigger screen felt like I had taken a step backwards.

You obviously not seen the test on YouTube where they opening the same apps/games etc on both phones and the S6 was 8 seconds faster overall than the iPhone.

I'd stick it out unless you like throwing money away

 

[warren_1979]

How much is this beast sim free?

 

[Jabbs]

I won't pay more than retail for it.

 

[Robbo]

** Baiting post deleted **

That's enough.

Reason I not replied Robbo childish.

I've used a similar product and would not recommend it; my phone scratched up the same as if I didn't have the product on it. Perhaps because it is impossible to tell if you've put it on correctly.

The battery life does seem poor though, after seeing the usage stats of people's S6's on XDA. The S6 will slow down though like all Samsung Android's, add LP's infamous memory leak, it'll be even worse.

Phones slow down due to user error. People install junk apps and that's what causes slow down.

I can't say I noticed much slow down on the note 4 on lp had it on since the German release came out first., battery not as good as kk though.
